Lions' passing game clicks in exhibition victory

DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions might want their running game to be the bread and butter of their offense, but when coach Rod Marinelli has a taste for steak, he'll be dialing up Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson and the passing game.

Williams scored Detroit's only touchdown on a 20-yard crossing route in the Lions' 13-10 preseason win against the New York Giants at Ford Field on Thursday night. It was the first preseason game for both teams.

Johnson, in just two series, showed flashes of why he was the second overall draft pick last season. He caught four passes for 78 yards, including a 38-yarder in one-on-one coverage.
